Recall/Review

“Class, what was our lesson last meeting?” Our lesson last meeting was all about the Drug scenario in the
Philippines and the concept of substance use, misuse, abuse
Very Good Jaspher! So last meeting we’ve learned the drug and dependence
scenario in the Philippines and the concept of substance use,
misuse, abuse and dependence.
So what is a drug? A drug is any substance substances or chemicals which when
taken into the body either nasal, oral transdermal or intravenous
way have psychological, emotional and behavioral effects on a
person.
Well said Arjanette. So what are the three drugs of abuse in
the Philippines? The drugs of Abuse in the Philippines are Shabu, Marijuana and
Inhalants.
Very Good Arnold. So those were the three drugs of abuse
of our country.
Now, to furtherly evaluate your learning about our last topic.
I have prepared scenarios that will assess how far you have
understood. All you have to do is to identify the given situation.
Are you ready?

Situations:
 Frank is using Paroxetine, an anti-depressant drug
without signs of depressions.
 Bella is given an anti-hallucinogen drug, psilocybin
10 ml to be taken once a day, instead of following
the prescription he drinks 20 ml 3x a day.
 Miguel has a drug mentainance for his gout arthritis
250 mg per day but does not feel any relief at all and
decided to take higher dosage of the said drug.
 Keith is taking a methamphetamine hydrochloride
and thinks that he can no longer survive without the
drug.

What does situation number one presents?

Situation number 1 shows Drug Abuse.
Excellent Cris! How about situation number 2?
Situation number 2 shows Drug Misuse.
That’s correct Mike! How about situation 3?
Situation number 3 shows Drug Tolerance.
Brilliant Pearl! How about the last situation?
Situation number 4 shows Drug Dependence.

So those situation presents, drug dependence, drug

tolerance, drug misuse and drug abuse.

and write something that has a lot of meaning to you, e.g., your
family, friends, sport, money, etc.
After inflating the balloon, I will play a music then you will
pass the balloon to your groupmates, make sure to keep their
balloons aloft, never allowing them to touch the floor. You may
do this by hitting the balloons with their arms, head, hands, etc.

How do you find the activity? It was fun Ma’am.

Do you find it hard protecting your balloon? Yes Ma’am! It hard to protect the balloon from not dropping in
the floor.

Excellent Ana! Meaning to say drugs has different effects
to our body system.
Now, who can guess the lesson for this afternoon? Our Lesson for this afternoon is the Effects of Drugs to our body.

Presentation
This afternoon, we will discuss the effects of Drugs to our
body.
As learned on the previous lesson, there are three Drug of
abuse in the Philippines according to the Dangerous Drug
Board:
 Methamphetamine Hydrochloride or “shabu”
 Cannabis sativa or “marijuana”
 Inhalants or “solvents”

The effects of drugs to us defends on what classification

they belong. To clearly understand its effects we will classify
them accordingly.

Lesson Proper

Activity 2: Classify Me!

In the board are the following words: “Uppers”, “Downers”

and “All-rounder’s”.
This time you are going to identify the classification of drug.
If they are “Uppers”, “Downers” and “All-rounder’s”.

The Six Classifications of Drugs

1. Gateway drugs
- Includes cigarettes and alcohol and are considered as
legal drugs.
- They are referred to us gateway since this can lead
the non-drug users to use dangerous drugs.

2. Depressant drugs
- Slows down the persons central nervous system
(CNS).
- Help certain persons to be less angry, less stressed,
or tensed.
- It relaxes muscles and nerves.
- Makes patients feel sleepy and light headed.
Ex: alcohol, barbiturates and tranquilizers

3. Stimulant drugs
- Speeds up person’s nervous system.
- Makes persons energy high.
- negatives effects includes depression and tiredness
- ex: Amphetamines which includes shabu, caffeine,
nicotine and cocaine.

4. Narcotics
- Relieves pain and induce sleepiness.
- It is administered to patients with mental disorders in
moderation and patients in severe pain like cancer.
- Ex: cocaine, heroin and marijuana

5. Hallucinogens
- A drugs that distorts reality and facts.
- It affects all senses and makes a user see, hear and
feel things that don’t exist in the time being.
- Ex: lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin obtained
from mushrooms and mescaline.

6. Inhalants
- Are found in ordinary household chemicals products
and anesthetics.
 - Inhalants intoxication is similar to the signs and
symptoms of alcohol intoxication.
- One difference is the foul smell of chemicals sniffed,
inhaled or huffed by the user.
- Continuous use and abuse leads to delusions, brain
damage, liver damage, coma and death.
- Ex: acetone, rugby or solvent, ordinary and spray
paint, cleaning fluids and air conditioner fluid (Freon)

After knowing the six classification of drugs. Now, let us

classify them. I have here meta-cards of the six drugs, and all
you have to do is paste this to which best describe. Are you
ready? Yes Ma’am!

Uppers Downers All-Rounders

Stimulants Depressants Gateway Drugs
Good job class! Now, that you have learned the six Hallucinogens Narcotics Inhalants
classifications of drugs and its effects. Let us also learn its
harmful effects to our body. I have prepared a short video
presentation that will show to you the effects of drugs to our
body. As you watch the video please listen carefully and take
down notes since you will have an activity after the presentation.
Are you ready? Yes Ma’am!

I will now divide you into three groups. Each group will be
given a concept map. All you have to do is to brainstorm within
your group the negative effects of the drug to our body base on
the video presented. After consolidating ideas of the group you
need to write your answer and present it to the class. In the
presentation, group 1 will do acting, group 2 will have interview
portion and group 3 will do the broadcasting. Since this we have
limited time, group 1 will focus on gateway drugs and narcotics,
group 2 will focus on stimulants and hallucinogens and the last
group will focus on depressant and inhalants. You will be given 5
minutes to perform the activity. Did you get it? Yes Ma’am!

map provided by adding information.
